CHART BREAKDOWNS

July Corn 🌽

Back above key support and stalling out exactly where we thought we would after hitting that short term target and reclaiming 61.8% of the sell off (most common retracement).

Bulls want to hold $4.83

Otherwise if we break below, we likely drop to $4.69 to $4.75

To the upside, next big target is $5.23 to $5.26

The Feb highs and 161.8% (golden fib) of this recent rally.

Dec Corn 🌽

Bulls want to hold the green box, that was old key resistance.

Big picture, next major target is $4.84 to $4.89 after hitting our short term target.

July Beans 🌱

Sink or swim time short term for beans.

Trapped between the 100 & 200-day MAs.

Break below, we go and test that key support box which is also 50-61.% of this rally.

Break above, and the upside is wide open.

As we have not broke above since 2023.

Nov Beans 🌱

Same chart set up in Nov beans as July.

Trapped between the 100 & 200-day.

Break above or below gives us our next move.

July Chicago 🌾

Trapped in this downward channel.

This doesn’t have to play out exactly, but the drawing is what makes the most sense.

Either way, next resistance is top of channel.

July KC 🌾

Sitting right at key support we’ve held for 8 months.

Next resistance is those Feb highs for a 3rd time.
